IMAGE BREAKS

  • eaesthete · Member ·

    Very frustrating problem. Loaded about 14 images in a title sequence that required a lot of time. Saved them to post following day. Gone. Broken. Code still in. Went back to source, reloaded – posted. Gone again. I do have % in the title. Right now the images are showing on
    Firefox, but are not visible on Safari. Should I rename as someone suggested in the archives and upload again? Very time consuming so I want to make sure I’m doing this correctly before I start (on Christmas morning).

    It may be that Firefox is a little more forgiving.

    Image file names on wordpress can only have letters and numbers, no underscores, no special characters (&, %, $, #, +, etc.) and no spaces. Dashes seem to work OK though.

    Delete the images, rename them as outlined above and then upload and link them again and I suspect everything will be fine.

    The other thing to keep in mind, is that the “img src…” must contain an alt=”” to be valid HTML. You don’t have to put anything between the quote marks, but it must be there. The title=”” is optional though and will not break things if it is not there. Example:<img src="http://imagelinkhere" alt="" title="" />

    Thanks so much for being around on Christmas. I’m a little unsure as to how to rename. As soon as I finish this, I’ll look for that insturction on renaming. Obviously, I remove the problematic % — is that all. Do I copy image location and then after inserting that link — change it that time. Sorry, I’ve not
    done this before.

    Sacredpath,

    This is an example of the image location I’m working with

    <img src=”http://bp0.blogger.com/_itxeexAFd4U/R1qug__xbLI/AAAAAAAAB4s/xvrhd8qjAdg/s1600/Picture%2B1.png” height=”217″ width=”506″ />

    Appears valid based on your criteria. Could you suggest how I might rename?

    You will want to rename them on your computer before uploading them. You can do this by right-clicking on the image file name on your computer, and choose rename. You can then type in a new name or edit the existing name and take out the special characters. Also keep in mind, that image files have to have an extension, so make sure that each file name ends in .png, .jpg, or whatever the correct extension is for your file type.

    Ah, OK, they are on another site. You will have to download them to your computer and then rename them. The you will have to manually upload them to wordpress using the upload function on the write post page.
